Microsoft Windows 10 Upgrade Guide Makes You the Hero

As we have written about Windows 10 and the free upgrade offer that expires this summer we have talked about the expected spike of upgrades that should occur over the next two months as users on Windows 7 and 8.1 systems jump in to get their free entitlement to the new operating system.

Of course, there is some discussions happening out there on sites and social media about heavy handed methods being used by Microsoft to get users moved over to Windows 10 with the Get Windows 10 app. From my perspective, in my own circles and Windows 7/8.1 virtual machines I test with, I am yet to see or hear about unexpected/unwanted upgrades. Where there is smoke there is fire so something is happening however, getting to the bottom of it will can be challenging.

With that said, Microsoft is asking users to help with upgrades in other ways and the latest thing is a new Windows 10 upgrade guide that was published on the Microsoft Download Center this week.
